Fig. 6. Discretization example for specific growth rate and growth-dependent parameters.

a Discretization of $\mu$ into $\widehat{\mu }$. The step approximation transforms the continuous interval $\left[0,2.5\right]$ into the discrete set $\left\{0,0.25,\dots ,2.5\right\}$. b Example of piecewise linear interpolation and discretization of the protein mass ratio from Neidhardt et al.¹¹. Red circles represent the values reported. The dashed line is the piecewise linear interpolation. The solid line is its discretization.
